听力原文： Most Americans believe someone isn't grown up until age 26, probably with a complete education, a full-time job, a family to support and financial independence, a survey said. (26)But they also believe that becoming an official grown-up is a process that, takes five years from about the age of 20, concluded the report from the University of Chicago's National Opinion Research Center. The findings were based on a representative sample of 1 398 people over age 18 surveyed in person in 2002. (27)The poll found the following ages at which people expect the transitions to grow up status to be completed: Age 20.9 self supporting; 21.1 no longer living with parents; 21.2 full-time job; 22.3 education complete; 24.5 being able to support a family financially; 25.7 married; and 26.2 having a child. "There is a large degree of consensus across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions, "said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only notable pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having a child and getting married. "Older adults and the widowed and the never-married do, " he added. "This probably reflects in large part a shift in values across generations away from traditional family values." (28)The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, was completing an education, followed by fall-time employment, supporting a family, financial independence, living independently of parents, marriage and parenthood.

听力原文： There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.
In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. (33)This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult World.
(34)What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics and technology. It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, America, China, Japan and among the Arctic people, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. (35)Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.
Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been Subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult of development. Toys used by a baby in 3000 B. C. are still used by an infant today. (35)The only difference lies in the artistic tastes of the times and the limitations of available materials.

It is necessary for them to see the expression which【C10】______ the words and so read the meaning the words left unsaid.【C11】______ two women in the front of a car repeatedly【C12】______ each other's attention from the road, and four represent an incredible danger【C13】______ the one nominally driving the car feels it necessary to see and hear not only what her companion is talking about but also, such is her【C14】______ , what those in the back are discussing in case it is anything【C15】______ which she can inject and add opinion, or in the hope of collecting fresh fuel to feed other fires on later【C16】______ .
Another factor is that women seldom use the driving mirror except for【C17】______ purposes, after which its position gives the driver little【C18】______ of the state of the road behind.
